Jaguars fans name their baby after two team stars

It goes without saying that the Jacksonville Jaguars have some of the most die-hards in the NFL, and the nation witnessed their passion first hand this season. Jacksonville couple Ashley and Scott Miller are two of those dedicated and spent some time watching the Jags from the stands as season ticket holders in 2017. However, when Week 14 rolled around Ashley had to start preparing to have the couple’s newborn daughter, who was due by the AFC Championship game that took place this past Sunday. A combination of their fandom and timing led Scott to come up with the perfect name just before the baby’s birth: Blake Ramsey Miller.

“I’ve lived here my whole life, and I’ve probably been to 90 percent of the home games since the very beginning,” Scott told First Coast News this week. “I just thought people would think we were crazy naming our kid after two Jaguars players,” added Ashley.

The couple had plenty of time to discuss the name of baby Blake as Ashley was in labor for 10 hours. Ashley was skeptical initially, but Scott warmed her up to the idea.

Like all of the other die-hards, the two were devastated by the loss, but fortunately they had much more to smile about as Blake was 100 percent healthy. The couple told First Coast News that Blake would be the last child they’d name after Jags stars and that they would take her to games to watch the two players she’s named after, Jalen Ramsey and Blake Bortles.
